Aims and Ideals of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India
Meditation is the science of reuniting the soul with the Infinite Spirit or God: Si Sri Paramahansa Yogananda. The Society aims to disseminate among the nations a knowledge of definite scientific techniques for attaining direct personal eperience of God; to teach that the purpose of life is the evolution, through self-effort, of man’s limited mortal consciousness into God Consciousness; and to this end to establish Yogoda Satsanga temples for God-communion, and to encourage the establishment of individual temples of God in the homes and in the hearts of men; to reveal the complete harmony and basic oneness of original Yoga as taught by Bhagavan Krishna and original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ; and to show that these principles of truth are the common scientific foundation of all true religions; to point out the one divine highway to which all paths of true religious beliefs eventually lead: the highway of daily, scientific, devotional meditation on God; to liberate man from his threefold suffering: physical disease, mental inharmonies, and spiritual ignorance; to encourage “plain living and high thinking” and to spread a spirit of brotherhood among all peoples by teaching the eternal basis of their unity, kinship with God; to demonstrate the superiority of mind over body, of soul over mind; to overcome evil by good, sorrow by joy, cruelty by kindness, ignorance by wisdom; to unite science and religion through realization of the unity of their underlying principles; to advocate cultural and spiritual understanding between East and West, and the exchange of their finest distinctive features; and to serve mankind as one’s larger Self.
